A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

:

After returning to the royal city, the crown prince did not show up for two days. It is said that he was exhausted because he spent months fighting abroad, so he needed to rest quietly for a while.

The crowd disappeared from Galland for two days, and according to the palace news, Prince Huimus almost stayed in Prince Galland's palace for the past two days.

This situation can't help but make some people start to whisper.

Could it be... Prince Huimus wanted...

However, two days later, Gallan appeared in front of everyone.

Xie Muer, who represents the priest power of Samash, and Sage, the head of the royal knighthood, followed him, accompanied him to meet the ministers, deal with government affairs, and served as the guardian knight of Prince Garland. Howth quickly began to take over the military forces in the royal city.

At the same time, Huimos remained silent, without saying a word, but quietly followed Garland, showing a gesture like a knight guarding the other.

As a result, the suspicion that had just flowed out of the hearts of everyone immediately disappeared.

In an instant, more than half a month passed in a hurry.

Thanks to the efforts of Gallan and the crowd, the heavily damaged royal city and surrounding areas are rapidly recovering.

The ban on the surrounding areas of the Wangcheng has been lifted, and the once blocked roads in all directions are allowed again. The merchants who were anxious because the commercial road was broken were finally relieved and brought the caravans to the Wangcheng.

There are also some timid businessmen who would like to wait and see for a while, but upon hearing that the crown prince issued a commercial tax concession order within half a year, one by one, regardless of it, almost couldn't wait to swarm from all directions.

The bright sunshine in spring shines on the land of Aaron Landis. On the road extending in all directions with the Wangcheng as the center of confluence, countless crowds of horses and horses start to travel, and the bustle is even more past. There are so many caravans on some roads that there is a blockage in some areas.

The thick blood vessels and the blood in the countless small blood vessels started to flow again.

This majestic city, called the'heart of the continent', which is located in the center of the entire continent, once again started a powerful beating.

The prosperous city of Aaron Landis is even more prosperous.

...

The wide Eya River flows quietly, encircling the magnificent royal palace shining in the sun with golden light, and then turns into a waterfall behind the high cliff behind the royal palace and falls into the vast ocean.

On this day, a small chamber in the royal palace stood on a high platform, open on three sides, and numerous huge lotus head stone pillars supported this chamber. In the courtroom, you can vaguely see the beauty of the waterfall falling into the sea in the distance.

In the small court, Gallan was listening to his subordinates reporting to him on the matters dealt with during this time.

"The message from His Excellency Karenni that the ruins of the Gastads in the west have basically been cleaned up. Now, he is stationed at the stronghold on the western border and is building a fortress."

Xie Muer said yesterday that he received a message from Karenni.

"Because our country and Canal have always had friendly relations and have never touched soldiers, we have not paid much attention to the defense of the west. But now Canal has been controlled by our enemy Gasdard. Therefore, His Excellency Karenni Considering the future war, it is considered necessary to build military fortresses in key places in the west."

The Gstaad killed their king and destroyed their two large legions.

And they killed the prince of the Gadsad and destroyed their hundreds of thousands of troops.

The two sides have forged a different hatred between them.

Since then, the western border will be endlessly in flames.

The priest continued: "Also, Lord Karenyi asked me to report to you that, in order to rebuild the Sixth Army, please agree to his recruitment of soldiers at the western border."

Garland nodded.

"You wrote back for me and agreed with his request."

The young man's bright eyes turned towards Xie Muer, his eyes apologized.

"In addition, to express my apologies to Karenyi, he should have spent his days in his own city, but now he has to work hard to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the western border, all because of my lack of ability."

He says,

"But in this case, it is only him who can reassure me of the important tasks on the western border."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will convey your words to him."

Xie Muer bowed slightly.

"However, Your Excellency Karenni will be very upset if you hear the apology you want to express."

The stubborn and straight-hearted old man has always been an unyielding person.

‘My body is very good, what’s so hard about this. ’

After receiving the letter, the old man would have said so unhappy.

However, for what Garland said was the only person who could trust the important tasks, only Karenni said that he must be very satisfied.

Probably imagining how the stubborn old man would react, Gallan smiled and turned his gaze to the other side.

Sage, the head of the royal knighthood, took a step forward after receiving Gallan's gaze.

"The Wangcheng is currently very stable, and the ministers and nobles have no unusual behavior."

The defense work of Wangcheng has been taken over by Kehuos and the First Army led by him. The robbers who took advantage of the war in the area around Wangcheng were cleared by his troops during this time.

The royal knights closely monitored the movements of the nobles and nobles in the royal city.

"Prince, those civilians are almost repatriated!"

Garland hadn't asked yet, the fat man Tal had jumped out eagerly, wagging his tail vigorously and inviting credit to his prince.

"I personally supervised it, absolutely no one can corrupt your money—"

In order to guard the king city, Huimus used his first ‘hard wall clear field’ tactic. Although this tactic did have a great effect, it inevitably caused considerable damage to the people who were driven away.

Now that the war is over, if the people who are forced to be displaced are as crowded as they are now in the Wangcheng or other large cities, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Therefore, after taking over the royal city, Gallan set out to **** the refugees back to their original homeland.

He set aside money to give them the necessary property subsidies, and if their homes were burned down, they helped them rebuild their houses.

In order to prevent officials from getting their hands on this large sum of money, Galland put Tal in full charge of the matter.

Tal, who was extremely sensitive to numbers and property, sent dozens of tall, burly and impersonal priests to help, almost cutting off the possibility of officials embezzling in this matter.

No one can take away the property given to him by the prince!

Don't even think about a copper plate!

The little fat man who vowed to die to keep his belongings for his little prince thought ferociously.

Kehuos also said: "His Royal Highness, Tasda and Elson decided to let the army return home the next day, leaving only a few representatives of the two countries here."

"Understood, there will be a banquet to entertain the generals of both countries tomorrow night.

Garlan finished speaking, paused, and mentioned something to his subordinates.

"Both the First and Sixth Legions have been rebuilt, leaving only the Third Legion."

At the beginning, King Camos led all the members of the First Army and the cavalry troops of the Third Army to the west, and later they were completely destroyed.

In the later war of guarding the Wangcheng, half of the infantry of the third legion remaining in the Wangcheng were killed and wounded, so the third legion was almost abolished.

"Do you want to rebuild the Third Army?"

Kehuos asked, "But, Your Highness, who are you going to let the Third Army command?"

The commander-in-chief of the six major legions can't do it by simply appointing a person. That person must have enough merit and reputation to be recognized by the generals.

Almost by default, only those who have established great military achievements and are well-known among the generals and have been named cavaliers are eligible to command the army.

But Aaron Landis was very few people who could be promoted to cavalry, and almost half of them died in the battle of Judas City. Now, the few remaining cavalry have a commanding army, Even the reconstructed Sixth Army can only barely command Karenni at the moment.

After all, this veteran finally spent many years in the battlefield, serving the king of the two dynasties.

Now that the prince wants to rebuild the Third Army, how can he start rebuilding if he cannot find a general who can command his army?

"Your Highness, if you don’t have a great war honour and reputation, even if you forcefully appoint, the soldiers will not recognize it. There may be no such generals in Aaron Landis, so the reconstruction of the Third Army is best. Hold on..."

"No, there is one person, everyone will agree."

Garland interrupted Xiemuer.

He turned his head and looked to the other side.

He says,

"Hyimos, the third legion is given to you, is it okay?"

Heimus, who had been sitting quietly in his chair, raised his eyes, and his golden eyes and Gallan looked at each other.

After a while, he nodded.

"it is good."

He said simply.

Everyone stunned for a while.

They just reacted. Although Huimus did not have the name of a handsome rider, it was because he was a prince himself. If he was a controversy and his reputation, he was definitely not inferior to any handsome rider.

If he is the commander of the legion, he will definitely be recognized by all the soldiers.

just……

Xie Muer and Sage looked at each other silently.

……………………

Considering the habits of the Tasda and Elsons, the banquet for entertaining them was not held in the magnificent hall, but chose an open-air courtyard.

Tall palm trees stood straight around the courtyard, and the dense branches and leaves became greener and greener in the night light.

Unlike the previous open-air banquet, this time, the entire spacious courtyard was ingeniously separated into two large pieces by a long dining table and columns wrapped with green vines.

The purpose of separation is to prevent the Tasda warrior and the Alson warrior from fighting at the banquet.

Although they fought side by side for such a long time, the two people still did not deal with each other, almost every few days.

In general, both sides have their own wins and losses, and no one can overwhelm anyone.

It was precisely because of this that the Tapti chief woman in charge of this banquet specifically ordered that the generals be separated in this way.

Perhaps it was from the arrangement of the banquet hall that the hardship of the female chief was realized, or perhaps it was because Prince Wang Gallan was present, and both sides were restrained. Although there was still no good face between them, there was no friction between them.

The two sides disregarded each other, each in their own half, eating food comfortably, chatting and laughing with their companions.

Shulos didn't need to attend this banquet, but in order to be among the female warriors of Elson, the bard just came cheeky.

At the banquet, he gave full play to his advantages as a bard, playing the lute and singing songs.

On Elson Island, among the Elsons who are dominated by warriors, the profession of minstrel does not exist at all.

Therefore, many female Elson fighters gathered around and listened to the novel of Shu Luosi quite strangely.

Surrounded by these rare and wild female warriors, the bard immediately became excited, and he simply sang the song of courtship on the mainland.

"That's an ancient legend."

"The chapter of immortal love spreads across the land of Aaron Landis."

...

"The sun is shining, and she falls by the clear stream."

"The wind claims to sing her beauty, the running water kisses her toes, and the water reflects her face."

"The goddess of love and beauty... Her existence eclipses everything in the world."

...

"At that glance, let her fall in love..."

"...Crazy love fire is burning, burning her to nothing..."

…………

When Garland finished talking with Tasda’s generals and came to Elson, he saw that the bard was showing off his colorful feathers and singing voice like a courtship flower peacock.

The boy suddenly laughed.

He didn't bother, standing aside, drinking the juice in his hand, listening to Shu Luosi happily while singing.

The bard's long and penetrating song echoed in the night sky with the sound of the piano.

"The beautiful goddess knelt in front of her beloved and confided her love to the teenager with the most beautiful voice in the world."

"...If you can't be by your side, for me, it's like death."

"My beloved..."

"You know... my heart is beating because of you... can you feel... my soul exists because of you..."

A bite of juice that Gallan had just drank in came out and coughed for a long while before he was relieved.

"Your Highness?"

The maid who followed him was startled and quickly wiped the juice falling on his hand with a towel.

"Are you all right?"

"Cough, cough, nothing."

After finally getting relieved, Garland handed the juice to the maid.

He hesitated for a while, and finally he couldn't resist asking.

"Cough, that...what did he sing just now?"

"Huh? Don't you know? It's a courtship song that spreads widely on the mainland."

Everyone knows it, and she, the believer of Aphrodite, knows better.

"According to legend, when Aphrodite once came into the world, she met the most beautiful boy in the world and fell in love at a glance. She desperately pursued the beautiful boy and prayed to him for his love. "

"This is the song of the goddess courting the beautiful boy."

The maid squinted, her expression drunk.

"There are still a lot of people who will court the beloved with the words in the ballad... Ah, "My heart is beating because of you"~~ Don’t you think this is particularly exciting?"

"Cough cough-cough!"

"His Royal Highness, aren't you a cold?"

Seeing Gallan's cough start to flush, his maid panicked.

"Cough-no, I'm fine, just choked."

"but……"

The maid's words were interrupted by the voice coming from the side.

"Your Highness, are you free now?"

After finally getting relieved, Gallan turned his head and saw the brown-haired priest who had approached him.

"Sherman, is there something wrong?"

"Yes, please follow me, I have something to tell you."

Garland nodded, turned around and told the maid to wait on the spot, and then walked to the secluded place beside the courtyard with Xie Muer.

Tall palm trees enveloped this place, and the light from a short distance was blocked by the dense canopy, making this place a little darker.

Garland followed Xie Muer here, only to find that Sage was also here, waiting for them standing under a tree.

Seeing Garland coming, Sage came out from under the tree shadow and bowed slightly to salute him.

"Have you something to tell me?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The head of the royal knightly regiment who never understood the elbow said directly,

"Regarding the commander of the Third Army, you must reconsider."

Garland paused.

"...Do you think Huimos is not qualified to be the commander of the Third Army?"

he asks.

"No, to be fair, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness as a prince, he had already been promoted to cavalry by his merits, even if he was the commander of the First Army, he deserved it."

Sage said,

"But, His Royal Highness, because of his status as a prince, I don't think he is suitable for controlling the Third Army."

"Any legion is not suitable for handing over to the throne-for the stability of the throne-you should take this into consideration."

The teenager was silent for a while.

Then he turned his head to look at Xie Muer who was standing beside him.

"You think so?"

The priest of Samash stood on the grass, and the shadow of the tree swayed on his face. The angular face still had a consistent and solemn look.

"His Royal Highness, according to the practice of the royal family of Aaron Landis, when the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the other princes must go to the seized city. Without the king's call, they must not enter the royal city one step."

He says,

"When you succeed to the throne, His Highness Heimus should go to the city of Menest and succeed him as the lord."

Although Xie Muer did not speak out, his words clearly expressed his meaning.

Sage continued the interface and said: "And, compared to the army commander, perhaps His Royal Highness is more interested in the Lord of a city..."

After all, the city owner is the complete master of a city, and is not under the jurisdiction of anyone except the king, and has a higher status than the army commander.

"Do not."

Gallan interrupted Sage's words.

He said, "I will not let him leave the royal city."

Xie Muer frowned, he opened his mouth, and seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know what he thought of, and then shut his mouth, squeezed tightly and didn't speak.

The Sage was unable to say anything.

"His Royal Highness Prince, please be sure to understand that leaving the prince with the throne succession in the royal city has been a very dangerous thing since ancient times."

As the head of the royal knighthood, his job is to protect the throne.

"You who are about to be on the throne should no longer be so affectionate! You should order His Royal Highness to go to the city of Moneste as soon as possible -"

The black tree shadow shook gently on the face, and the teenager was silent for a while.

Then he shook his head again.

"Do not."

Gallan said, with a very firm tone.

He was unwilling.

That was not because of fear that the order would anger Huimus.

But...

He raised his eyes and looked at the two with golden pupils.

"I need him."

He says,

"I need him to be with me."
